Pinion Gap
CAUTION:
To prevent coil from burning, DO NOT apply voltage to starter assembly for more than 10 seconds.
- With starter on a bench, disconnect the field coil wire from the "M" terminal of the solenoid. See Fig 1
- Connect a 12V battery between "S" terminal and "M" terminal.
- The pinion will move out.
- Check the pinion for stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a feeler gauge. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS . See Fig 2.
- If the pinion gap is not within specification, make adjustment by increasing or decreasing number of gaskets between solenoid and front bracket.
